I am mindful, sensitive, analytical, and measured. I love nature, gardens, and water, and am deeply interested in the healing and nourishing qualities of plants, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. I dream of my own Mediterranean garden and cottage, where rare and beautiful plants can flourish. I am fascinated by culinary traditions and cultures, and I both admire and practice creativity, arts, and skillful craftsmanship. I enjoy yoga and meditation, and I delight in collecting and sharing knowledge, which makes books and archives a passion.
